This year the Epietriz family took a summer trip to Epietriz's own farms in the Yamanashi highlands, where we enjoyed a crash course in what it means to eat good. From the months of May to October, the cool highland climate is a welcome respite from Tokyo's oppressive heat. This year's lack of rain meant fewer crops than past years, but we made it just in time for the summer harvest as the sunflowers were beginning to bloom. Below we revisit the day, reflecting on this wonderful opportunity for our Tokyo staff to visit and play in the farms where the vegetables they prepare each day are grown.
